Welcome to 5012 Higel Avenue, a fully renovated waterfront property located in the heart of Siesta Key, Florida.

The Location: Just Minutes from Siesta Village and Siesta Beach

Tucked away on one of Siesta Key’s most desirable streets, this home is just:

0.6 miles to Siesta Village — where you'll find casual cafes, seafood restaurants, live music, and boutique shops
0.7 miles to the nearest Siesta Beach access — meaning you can walk or bike to the sand in just minutes
A quick drive to Sarasota’s vibrant mainland dining, arts, and shopping scene

And when you’re ready to trade sand for seawall, the canal-front location puts you just minutes from Sarasota Bay and the open Gulf of Mexico by boat, kayak, or paddleboard.

The Home: Over 3,500 Square Feet of Renovated Elegance

Step through the gated front courtyard and you’ll immediately sense the calm, curated design that runs throughout the home. With 3,500+ square feet of air-conditioned space, the open-concept layout creates a natural flow from the kitchen to the living areas, all framed by walls of glass that showcase the pool and water views beyond.

Chef’s kitchen with sleek cabinetry, premium appliances, and an oversized island
Spacious dining area and inviting living room designed for entertaining or relaxing
Split floorplan offering privacy and space for everyone
Four total bedrooms, including flexible-use spaces for a home office, creative studio, or multigenerational setup

Soaking tub
Dual vanities
Oversized walk-in shower
Outdoor shower under the palms

Guest Bedrooms That Don’t Feel Like Afterthoughts

Bedroom Two includes its own en-suite bath and a direct line of sight down the canal — ideal for guests or in-laws

Bedroom Four opens to a private courtyard, making it ideal for guests, remote work, or even a separate studio entrance

The Outdoor Oasis: Heated Pool, Dock, and More

Life in Siesta Key should be lived outdoors, and this home delivers.

The coral-stone tiled lanai wraps around a heated pool, surrounded by lush tropical landscaping and a peaceful breeze rolling in off the canal. Whether you’re entertaining friends or enjoying a morning coffee, this space feels like a five-star resort.

Down by the water, you’ll find a floating dock, long seawall, and direct access to the Intracoastal Waterway. Boaters, kayakers, and paddleboarders — this is the setup you’ve been waiting for.
